    <p> 
    The STL Exporter for the Autodesk Revit Platform is a proof-of-concept project designed to create an STL file from a 3D building information model, 
    thereby enabling easier 3D printing. STL is a popular file format for stereolithography (3D Printing) used for rapid prototyping and computer 
    aided manufacturing. In the building space, it is used by architects and engineers to build 3D models. This is an add-in for Revit products that provides 
    the ability to export geometric data from Revit to ASCII and Binary STL files.
